HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS واجب آمد ازین به هر دوران که تکلم کند خدای یگان It has become necessary in every age; the One True God speaks at all times. ورنه دین ست محض افسانه این چنین دین از صدق بیگانه Otherwise, religion becomes a mere fable; such religion becomes آن ز شیطان بود نه از حق دین alien to sincerity. که ندارد دوام وحی یقین Such a religion is not from God; it is from the Devil if it does not bring eternal and infallible revelation. دین همان دین بود که وحی خدا نشود زو به هیچ وقت جدا True religion is never devoid of divine revelation; it will never be separated from this. وحی و دین خداست چون توأم یک چو گم شد دگر شود گم هم Since revelation and religion are inseparable, if one is lost, the other will also be lost. بی یقین چون نجات یابد خلق بی گمان رو ز حق بتابد خلق Since people cannot attain salvation without certainty, it is no wonder that they turn away from the truth in these circum- stances. بی خدا چو یقین به دل آید گفتگو یا لقا همی باید Without God, there can be no certainty in the heart, and cer- tainty requires either His word or His sight. 139
